A Visual Guide To Robots And Cyborgs #SaturdayMorningCartoons

There’s something about robots that people connect to. I knew as soon as I left the theater after watching Star Wars that I would someday have my own R2-D2, (which I now do!) So I decided to ask the followers of my Facebook Page to tell me their favorite robot, and I got a huge response. Below are some of the favorites, and the approximate time that they made their first appearance. I included cyborgs (robotically modified humans) as well as some real robots that were mentioned. Thanks to all that posted! Click the image or links for a larger view. What’s your favorite robot? Did I miss any? Comment here or, even better, on my Facebook Page. – See more at: http://www.sciencebob.com/blog/?p=1004#sthash.NZurww6V.dpuf
